the land Melaixia

Once upon a time, there is a land called Melaixia.

Older Version
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. 
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

Modern Version (To be exact, Melaixia version)
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he shiveringly calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while Grasshoppers are cold and starving.

Broadcasting station 1, 2 and 3 show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

The majority of the Melaixian Parliment stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be that this poor Grasshopper allowed suffering so?

Kitely stages a demonstration in front of the Ant 's house.
Nasli goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers to be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Most of the related people criticizes the Melaixian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The local newspaper and the internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).

Deputy minister immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.

Herhammudin makes 'More Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions and in Government Services.

The Ant; fined for failing to comply with 30% sharing and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes; its home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by Broadcasting station 1, 2 and 3.

Chief Minister announces to the whole Melaixian that this is part of the New  Government Transformation Program and all have to respect, no question ask and have to follow it.

Many years later, the Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company.
Hundreds of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in Melaixia because of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, Melaixia is still a developing country!!!

All because the ANTS are still doing their work.............................

**Note**
Sorry, it is a fiction!
I am not claiming this mine.  But I don't know who this belongs to as it was forwarded through so many emails.
